The Skua dive-bomber that crash landed on a Norwegian fjord while attacking Nazi invasion forces was flown by Lieutenant-Commander (not Wing Commander) John Casson. The attack took place in June, not April, 1940 (Rare British plane raised from fjord, page 24, April 10).

A meteorite might crash into a greenhouse, but not a meteor (Radio pick of the day, page 32, G2, April 10). A meteor is a shooting star, or, as Nasa puts it, the light phenomenon which results when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporises.

It is the Church in Wales, not the Church of Wales (Déjà vu, page 23, Review, March 29).

The Reverend Thomas Awdry was not the creator of the children's stories about Thomas the tank engine and his friends; the Reverend Wilbert Vere Awdry wrote the first 26 books in the Railway Series and his son Christopher added the rest (No Doubting Thomas, page 31, April 8).

The caption to a photograph of the Intrepid Fox, which accompanied an article about pub closures, said that the pub in London's Soho had been sold to property developers. The pub has since re-opened at a new venue in St Giles High Street WC2 (Sky-high prices, flat beer and no fags: how the pub bubble burst, page 25, April 9).

· This article was amended on Tuesday April 15 2008. Nasa's website might describe a meteor as the light phenomena which results when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporises, but we should not have, as many readers noted. Phenomena is a plural noun and takes a plural verb, not a singular one. This has been corrected.
